For almost three centuries, the Library Company has relied on the generosity of individuals who have included the institution in their estate plans to help preserve it for future generations. Through bequests of collections and funds, those benefactors have helped make the institution what it is today—an internationally renowned repository of historical treasures available to all readers free of charge.

Today, your planned gift will not only contribute to the Library Company, it could also produce tax advantages and income for yourself or others. As a steward of our future, you will be included in the James Rush Society in honor of Dr. James Rush whose books and papers are an important part of our collection. Rush Society members are duly noted at Library Company Annual Meetings and other events and in Library Company publications.
